HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) – Police are on the scene of a deadly officer-involved shooting at the 7-Eleven on Cherry Street near Kecoughtan Road.

It happened just before midnight.

According to a news release from police, a Newport News Police officer and a task force officer from the Williamsburg Police Department saw a pick-up truck in the area of 21st Street and Orcutt Avenue in Newport News that had been reported stolen in Chesapeake .

The officers followed the truck to a 7-Eleven in the 700 block of Kecoughtan Road in Hampton.

When the officers attempted to make contact with the people inside the pick-up, the driver, in an attempt to escape, drove towards both officers and hit their unmarked car, according to the release.

At some point the officers opened fire on the truck and three people were hit by the bullets. Paramedics took all three to a local hospital, where one the suspects, a man, died.

The man’s mother told WAVY’s Rico Bush his name was DeAndre Bethea and was 24-years-old.
